That’s how Trey and Matt have always been so successful. No matter how nucking futz, insane, or seemingly chaotic South Park gets, they always seem to have their finger on the pulse of whatever issue they are parodying, and they seem to understand the actual issue very very well. This lets them then take it in a completely crazy direction on the surface but with a completely sane and accurate undertone or point.
Because Miles Morales isn’t “Black Spider-Man” he is Miles Morales, who happens to be a black Spider-Man. If they just made Peter Parker black, it wouldn’t be the same.
Nowadays he is but originally in the ultimate comics run miles replaced peter after his death. There where a few fans who did react quite explosively to that not helped by the fact that he was arguably not written as well as he was later on and didn’t have any prior legacy like a character like kid flash becoming flash did he was kinda slapped into being spider man after the death of a popular version of spider man.
I wouldn’t even count Miles as a race swap, he’s really more of an addition.
That’s what good writing does.
However, that doesn’t change what perceptions were/are across the board.

Its funny how insanely accurate SP is sometimes.
Donald Glover did the joke better imo.

There’s a difference This is once well written
Is the other issues a lazy cash grab
That’s not Promoting Diversity It’s bullcrap
